Intensive awareness sessions inside the health care centre for admitted patients and invited villagers raise awareness about nutrition, hygiene, family planning, and how to recognize sickness and the importance of prenatal checkups. Further cognitive and physical stimulation of malnourished and neurological children is one key issue.

Doctor´s and Emergency Room
Emergency room
The emergency room consists of a phototherapy for newborns with jaundice, and an ECG. Frequently we do the dressing for burn patients, or patients suffering from ulcers.
Diagnostic
Diagnostics
The health care center maintains a laboratory for diverse analysis. Furthermore, X-ray, USG, ECHO, ECG and EEG are available.
In the laboratory blood and urine examinations or the Mantoux test are conducted. Sputum is collected and analyzed in another health department. X-ray helps to diagnose lung TB, as well as bone fractures.
Still too many children suffer from TB. Spine and lymph node TB as well as TB meningitis are most common in children who had contact to adults with lung TB earlier in their life. Often these children miss needed preventive medicines. Therefore a tuberculosis screening and monitoring program is hosted by Shining Eyes. Children with acute TB can be diagnosed in our hospital in order to decide how and where to continue the treatment for them.
